Indiana Basketball: Trayce Jackson-Davis named to Jordan Brand All-Star Game

Indiana basketball signee Trayce Jackson-Davis was named to the 2019 Jordan Brand Classic All-Star Game on Friday night.

The Jordan Brand Classic rosters were announced on Friday which included Indiana basketball signee Trayce Jackson-Davis.

In their 18th year, the Jordan Brand Classic game will take place for the first time in Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena on April 20 at 8:00 pm EST.

Already a McDonalds All-American, Jackson-Davis continues to add to his high school awards.

The five-star recruit is in the midst of his senior season, averaging over 22 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks per game.

Scoring 25 of his teams 29 points in their sectional title game, including the go-ahead dunk with about 90 seconds to play in overtime, he helped give Center Grove their third consecutive section title.

At 6-foot-9, Jackson-Davis will assume the role currently handled by senior forward Juwan Morgan. Though he will not have that impact on the game right when he steps in, he is a versatile forward who can run the floor well, has great hands, and can rebound the ball, something Indiana is in desperate need of.

Committing to Indiana in November, he has been in the ear of best friend and Indiana prospect Keion Brooks all winter long.

Brooks, also a member of the Jordan Brand Classic, makes his college decision next Friday, March, 15th. 

Jackson-Davis turns his attention to their regional semifinal on Saturday morning, hoping to play for the regional final later that night.
